Nathan nodded before looking at Woste, “Now that Valmora is in trouble, how will you like me to help you?”
Woste immediately replied, “Max is now in Valmora for a diplomatic visit while the troops of Xyperia are at our borders. They are trying very hard to force us into becoming their ally. I hope that you can respond to both parties and let them know that Eurasia is the backer of Valmora so that they won't mess around with us.”
Nathan pondered before saying, “Why don't you take a rest first? Let me discuss this with my generals before making a decision.”
Although Woste needed an immediate answer from Nathan, he had no choice but to agree.
In the late afternoon, Nathan held an urgent video conference with the various commanders-in-chief and top generals in the army.
After discussing, they had decided that they would not sit back and watch Valmora get bullied. They had to defend Valmora.
Once the meeting was over, Nathan summoned Woste and told him about his decisions.
Firstly, they would send an additional one hundred thousand soldiers to the North Army. At the same time, they would hold a massive military drill in the mountainous area.
That would surely spook Xyperia, and they would redeploy their troops to guard against the North Army.
As a result, Valmora would not be feeling as much pressure.
The second decision was for Nathan to visit Valmora the next day as the Chief Military Governor of Eurasia.
His impending visit would serve as a warning to Ariarica and its allies that Valmora was backed by Eurasia, and no one was to touch Valmora.
When Woste heard the two decisions made by Nathan, he was close to tears.
He was beyond grateful. “Sir, thank you very much for your kind assistance. May the friendship between Eurasia and Valmora live on forever. This time around, Valmora will be saved.”
Nathan smiled and responded, “Go back and inform President Adolf about this. Let him know that I will be visiting Valmora tomorrow.”
“Yes, I will definitely do that. Tomorrow, the entire country will be looking forward to your visit.”
